Hey Guys, I am new to the forum and was wondering if I did the correct thing today. I got myself in a fair amount of trouble when I was younger and I am afraid that I may of screwed up Second amendment rights for ever. I sent a email to the Chief of Police in my town asking about weather or not I am disqualified federally from owning a firearm. He was extremely helpful to the point he offered to save me the money on running a CORI on myself to get dates on particular convictions by doing it himself for me for Monday. I have a OUI that was prior to 1994 that should not be a problem, but I do have a incarceration for a possession with intent to distribute among 2 lessor charges back 20 years ago that I served 1 year for. I am guessing that will kill me in the water there. I am wondering if doing this by myself instead of checking with a lawyer could of been the wrong thing or it wouldn't of mattered anyway?? I guess that I would have a second question to follow that up.....my wife has a spotless record and would not have a problem getting a FID or LTC , but would that be a problem in the eyes of the law?? I would guess that it would be best to leave it alone. I am interested in protection of my home first and foremost as it seems like there is more and more crime in the news everyday. The other quick question would be once a federal decision is made final, is there any way to reverse it? Thanks for your interest and time, Dennis
